Summary: Excellent!
Review: I agree with "bobo" about this movie. I had to watch this for an english class in college and I loved it. You just have to look beyond the plot line and into the chracter's personalities. There is a whole lot more there in the movie than what most viewers think.

Review: I love this movie. Its an independant/cult film about a guy who is held hostage and becomes a hero by saving himself and one other person. The fame is a little overwhelming and he lashes out a bit until the next person comes in for there 15 minutes of fame. Out of all of Stephen Dorff's film this is my favorite. The character of Cliff Spab seems genuine and honest in how he expresses himself. Yes, he's extremly charming and cocky but you get the underlying messge from the film overall. I am so glad its finally out on DVD.

Summary: What a stupid movie
Review: I really thought this was pretty lame movie, and in NO way a comparrison to Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction the way one reviewer described. The attempt is to tell a story about some kid, played by Stephen Dorff, who becomes a pop-culture icon because he was held hostage and apparently didn't care. At least thats what I got out of it. I think what turned me off the most about this movie was Dorff's character--an "uber-cool" rebel type who's mean to his apparently oppresive father and cry-baby of a mother, slam dances and tears up his room (I guess to prove to us how cool he is), and who can get in front of an audience of high school kids and proudly cuss for no other reason then he'll know it'll get laughs. In real life someone like that would be considered a slacker or an (...), but for the case of this movie I guess he's cool. Anyway, my problems with the character aside, this movie just wasn't that good to begin with. A REALLY weak script, and I swear each of these leading actors could have, and have done, about ten times better since, so I wonder why the only put in half the effort for this one. Maybe they knew it wasn't going anywhere and needed the paycheck. As cool and revolutionary it tries to be, S.F.W. doesn't really do anything all that spectacular. The gun battle at the end with the terrorists, as well as the movie's protrayal of the media are the best (and really only good) things about this movie. But, most of you kiddies out there will probably like it because it has people cussing and drinking beer. But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Review: I've seen this movie three times and I still don't understand it. This film is incredibly boring ( and I love Stephen Dorff! ), you'd have to to even sit through this for one minute. I like Reese too but they couldn't save this film. It flashes back and forth which is sickening. The movie itself is stifling. The flashbacks were the best part which had me wondering why the filmmakers didn't just show the hostage situation instead of making the film on the " aftermath " of it. Cliff Spab has to be the most boring character I've seen. He goes on and on about nothing. This character didn't showcase Stephen's true talents. All Spab did was smoke, have sex and complain about his little pathetic life yet you saw no true emotions from the guy. This movie is full of bad words, lackluster acting and nothing to show for it. Contrary to popular belief this is not Stephen's best work. If you think this you must not have seen Blade, Backbeat or The Power of One. S.F.W. sucked.

Summary: S.F.W - The Complete Lowdown
Review: It's begining to show it's age, but this satrical drama remains a topical dissection of the American facination with the cult of the non-celebrity. Stephen Dorff is the angry young man who is amoung a group taken hostage by camcorder-weilding anarchists. They force the networks to broadcast their tapes, but it's the rebellious Dorff who soon becomes the star attraction. Dorff is suitably surly as the man fighting against his 15 minutes of fame and there's good suppourting work from a pre-fame Reese Witherspoon and Jake Busey. Director Jefery Levy demonstrates a sympathetic understanding of ninties teenage alienation. Overall and interesting and enthralling movie that is well worth watching.
